* \9 slide downto 9th fret
* >>>>> slide up; <<<<< slide down


Big Ringing Intro Chords:

I wont tab the rythym here, just listen to the song. The trick here
is to listen how Starcrunch strikes a chord, pauses, strikes it again,
then immediately slides the whole chord upto (or down to) the next one.

              A    C    A   D
--------------5----8----5---10------------------------------------|
--------------5----8----5---10------------------------------------|
--------------6----9----6---11------------------------------------|
--------------7----10---7---12------------------------------------|
--------------7----10---7---12------------------------------------|
--------------5----9----5---10------------------------------------|

Power Chords:
Again, no rythym notated here. Start with the A & C chords then
switch to an octave aproach for the D & E...

              A    C
--------------5----8----------------------------------------------|
--------------5----8----------------------------------------------|
--------------6----9----7---9-------------------------------------|
--------------7----10---X---X-------------------------------------|
--------------7----10---5---7-------------------------------------|
--------------5----9----------------------------------------------|

Riff A: (No you are not seeing notes on the 32nd or 20th fret...
         The picking is very fast and subtle and I am sure I am
         not tabbing every exact note. I ran some of the notes
         together to try to indicate timing without wasting a
         lot of space.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------|

                                                  * 14th fret ???

Repeat Riff A again and this time end with the Power Chords.

Riff B: (Just Riff A up an octave - a surf idiom!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Part C: (Again the picking is fast and subtle; I am showing the
         notes put not every pick!)

---------------5-4-----------------------5-4----------------------|

Next comes the Power chords again;
Followed by the first part of Riff B which rips into a solo.

(Anyone want to take a stab at the solo??)

End with:
